I have spent my week reading through the messages you all have sent and the stories from other families facing this same stress are heartbreaking. It turns out that so many of us are dealing with this in silence while feeling like we have nowhere to turn. Please keep sharing your experiences because this is exactly what shows the board that we need a change.

I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this issue because I never imagined so many people would join me in this effort. The credit for this progress belongs entirely to the parents and community members who refused to stay silent about these concerns.

As a hairstylist I am not aloud to work on a client with head lice, so why are they aloud to be in school.
I agree that they should send a child home with head lice and also notify the other parents so they can check their children to keep it from spreading. This new policy has cost me do much money and pay I miss out on from my job to deal with getting rid of the lice.
I understand both sides. I don't want my son catching head lice from the other kids at school, but also I understand how it would be difficult for some patents to take the time off work or find someone to watch the kid while the patent is at work, especially in a single parent home.
They say that lice is not a medical emergency. However it is a huge financial issue. if my children were to bring home lice, I get it, I cannot go to work. I mean, would you want a waitress/bartender with lice handling your food or drink????
A simple letter sent home with the children stating that there is lice in the school would be helpful. No blame, no naming the child. Just prevention.
I dislike how the school is allowing lice to be spread around they should go home like other schools send them
Mentors are treated LOUSY!!!!

It's costs over $100 to treat a house hold of 3 people. including water electric the lice treatment then plus a whole day of washing drying and cleaning your home from top to bottom. last year when my son started school at IRES i spent hours and days on the phone with the school board for them to tell me yes my child will b sent back to class if lice is found in his hair. I'm one pissed off mama at the school board of Volusia County and if I could re sign this over and over I would.
